Comment Actions The underlying problem is there is no pam(8) man page (PR 630084). I transcribed this man page based on your comment, What do you suggest instead? Comment Actions While a man page for PAM in general would be useful, and I have previously said that this article would be a good starting point, a) it should be in section 7, not 8, b) the text needs significant work because man pages and articles are different mediums with different audiences, c) you still don't get to change the copyright statement. It says so right there in the license. Comment Actions After further review, the article by DES has no license. Comment Actions It is categorically untrue that my article did not have a license. Unfortunately, it appears to have been removed in the conversion to adoc. I will ask the responsible parties to restore it. |
